Ama-zing Harmonies at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre

Monday 26th June, 6 – 7pm

Amaz-ing Harmonies is an initiative to bring the people of my neighbourhood together through songs and food where all participate.
We started in March and have grown to around 30 people per evening. We meet on the last Monday of every month from 6pm to 7pm.
It gives us the opportunity to network and know our neighbours. This makes us love each other and break barriers of silence, culture and religion as we are all united through music. I chose music to bring us together because I am a musician myself. Music relaxes, refreshes and takes away anxiety. It’s an antidote to depression also.
If you need more information please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you
Ama
